After years of lobbying and last years consultation, The NZ EUR will implement more transparency on unit origination. From 01 April 2014 the origin of NZUs will be visible alongside the serial range of units within the NZ emission unit register.

This means sellers and buyers of units will be able to see what type of NZUs they hold. For example An NZU will have an identifier stating whether it is from the Permanent Forest Sink Initiative or post-1989 ETS Forestry, or a free allocation to industry. Read the release here.
